Thank you all for the lovely comments about the Happy Jacks tutorial and my decorating ideas. I haven't answered each of you individually, and so many of you are no-reply bloggers too, but I wanted to let you know I really do appreciate your kind words.

And to show my appreciation, I made you some cupcakes. Would you like one?

Chocolate with homemade vanilla buttercream frosting. Yum! I had a little mishap with the mixer though. I THOUGHT I was pushing the "eject" button to release the beaters but instead, the beaters started up again, splattering streaks of chocolate cake mix all over me and all over the kitchen I had just finished cleaning. I hate it when that happens! Hubby didn't seem to mind much, though--he was sitting out in the garage, tinkering around with his creations, when I came out and stripped bare naked--the laundry area/washing machine is in the garage as were some clean clothes. He thought I was going to put on a show for him, but he had to settle for a cupcake instead!

This quilt COULD BE YOURS! If you haven't done so already, and if you'd like to win this Happy Jacks quilt, please leave a comment on yesterday's post. A winner will be announced on October 1st.

I don´t have my blogg yet, so I am here again as anonymous. But I have to tell you, your cupcakes look yummy!!! Even the colors look like Halloween is already here. Greetings from Helsinki, Finland - Jana S.

I want ALL of those cupcakes, thank you very much! They look scrumptious! Sorry you had such a problem with the mixer. Been there, done that. I bet hubby was pleasantly surprised.....with the cupcakes, I mean! LOL!

About Me

I'm a quilter living in Northern California. I sew and design quilts. During the day, I'm a legal secretary, but at night, I can usually be found in the Sweat Shop, engaged in the sport of X-treme quilting! I'm married and have two adult kids, Soccer Son and the Wild Child. I have a daughter-in-law, the Lovely Wife, and an almost son-in-law (whose blog name is yet to be determined). AND both of my children have blessed me with darling grandchildren recently, a boy and a girl. I try not to take myself too seriously and often write tongue-in-cheek--if you think I might be joking, I probably am!

IT'S ABOUT TIME!

It's 2013. YIKES! It's 2014! And what's my plan for the year? More of the same? Let's see what I said last year: "Before 2012 ended, several ongoing projects were set aside. Okay, who am I kidding? I'm sure I could say the same thing for every year since 2000! So, in 2013, I'm going to try to get back to many of the 2012 projects and some that were begun even earlier, and get them done. I'll keep track of my progress, in words and photos, here in my side bar." Yep, one year wasn't enough--I think we'll roll it on into 2014!
